Re: escape button wont work ME1 LE
It's a shame that they changed the keybinds for this edition. In the original, you could right click to zoom out, so this wouldn't have happened.
In the days of original Mass Effect, non-responsive keys were often the result of poor performance. People who played on Intel graphics would sometimes report this issue. Are you playing on a dedicated graphics card?
I think there's a good chance that there might be a config tweak to rebind the functions of the escape key to another key. However, Google isn't really turning anything up right now, and I can't experiment at the moment because I'm not at my Windows PC.
For now, here's a possible workaround: If you have happen to have a controller, plug it in, and use that to exit the galaxy map. MELE allows the use of a keyboard and a controller at the same time.
